Hello, i'm trying to cross-compile the alsa-utils package. the configure command i use is: ./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=installDir \ --with-alsa-prefix=alsaLibDir \ --with-alsa-inc-prefix=alsaIncDir I get an error: "required curses helper header not found". Before, the configure script prints "compiler flags... -I/usr/include/ncursesw" 1. this is not the correct directory of my cross-compiled ncurses library, which is in another directory ( somewhere in my homedir ). Configure warns that /usr/include/ncursesw is not safe for cross-compilation 2. when I run the same command with "sudo", then the configure prints no erros and completes successfully 3. I've found no solution to tell the configure-script, where to find my cross-compiled ncurses library. When I specify the CPPFLAGS variable to the right directory, configure still uses -I /usr/include/ncursesw first. Does anybody know how to solve this ? Thanks !
